New Jersey: Exemplary Government

Posted on 12 March 2008

Exemplary of what, though?

We don’t have to look far to see where that [i.e., including additional spending in plans for new taxes] leads. New Jersey adopted legalized gambling (Atlantic City) to lower property taxes. Then it adopted a sales tax to lower property taxes. Then it adopted an income tax for education to lower property taxes. Today, New Jersey has the highest per capita property taxes in the country as well as an income tax and a sales tax.

This came from the Union Leader newspaper of New Hampshire. And the same article gives some very sound and obvious advice:

Voters concerned about property taxes should consider cutting spending, not adding more taxes. Spending goes up every year much faster than inflation does, so property taxes go up.

Maybe we should be looking to others for examples.
